A typical midwestern neighborhood with a typical midwestern drinking game outside the garage. Notable for the beer cans one dude threw out the window in front of the house while driving away. I also learned from their ever-increasing speechifying that one of the dudes owns 2 pairs of overalls and that the quarterback from Novi can really run. Quite fast actually. For a dude.

But right now I am in the thick of it. Fun but fake old photos. And returning to my home via Amtrak, passing through Detroit, I hade to do a Hipstamatic study outside the train windows.
